Its a long story.....I ordered a Trueno front cut from Japan with the stock 16v motor & gearbox. When it arrived they dropped it (flipped upside down) when forklifting from the container. that damaged 1 front light, 1 front guard and distorted the front bar  . Then was the drama of ordering new parts which costs a fortune from Japan and too 3 months from a Toyota dealer I know. All up a very expensive exercise and I would nver do it again. Just a bit of costing: from guard cost $580, corner blinkers $95 each.

That's because the HK ones are made to suit any car, mine are exact font copy of the Fujiwara Tofu Shop one in Initial D.

for $500 bux you can't even get a complete aus spec front..
the going rates for all the bits and bobs on a trueno front is about $2000 to $2500 bux...
and you might have to wait a while...

Stickers were ordered from Toyota Dealer, They can get them from Japan, Takes weeks and costs a fortune.....around $50 each
Respectable time for DC2Rs are anything under 1.15's. S15's anything under 1.10's. Most S15 are usually around1.13's and DC2Rs about 1.16-1.15.
